Thomas sat in his car, pondering the words Damien had just said. Ava had rushed to the office for her interview, and based on the recent accounts and the hints she had dropped at home, it seemed she was looking for someone genuine to partner with before

seeking an investor. As this thought crossed his mind, Thomas felt a wave of disagreement wash over him. This was a crucial piece of

information that nearly overturned everything he had previously assumed. He realized he could no longer approach Ava as an investor; instead, he needed to reconsider her perspective. Finding out who she was meeting today wouldn't be difficult. He could have David make a quick phone call.

Ten minutes later, Thomas received a photo. It was a picture of Ava and Uriel. He paused momentarily, suddenly understanding why Ava had been so secretive. It all made sense now-

She was meeting with Uriel. Perhaps she felt uncomfortable bringing up the birthday gift issue, worried it might create tension between them. Th

    A group of people stepped out of the police station, and just a few steps away, Thomas was called out by a voice. "That photo was really sent to you by Iris, wasn't it?" "What's it to you? Curious, are we?" Lawrence turned around and came face to face with Robison, the person he suspected the most. "I just want to say, don't let yourself be used. If that photo ends up being yours, it could really backfire on you." Robison's tone was unusually grim, lacking the explosive anger he usually displayed. Thomas paused for a moment, realizing that this guy was playing mind games, but he probably wouldn't outsmart him. There was no way he would rely on that fool, Iris, to gather the final evidence. All she wanted was to drag Iris into the mess. "I could say the same to you. That shadow might very well be a guy. Who knows whose shadow it will end up comparing to? You should be more careful with yourself than warning me." As Thomas spoke to Robison in this manner, Ava grew increasingly sile

    The intensive care unit was nothing like the previous VIP ward. To ensure complete isolation, there was only a sheet of tempered glass through which one could glimpse the patient's condition. Naturally, there were no seats for the families either. A group of people stood in the stairwell for quite a while, and after what seemed like an eternity, they finally decided to move in batches to the office on this floor. The young nurse watched as the family members kept coming in and felt helpless to say anything. There was a lounge nearby for them to rest, but they seemed oblivious. Robison wore a dark expression. Ever since Uriel had called Ava, his mood had not improved. It was clear that Uriel’s words were aimed at Robison, and he remained silent, his face clouded with anger. Under normal circumstances, he would have exploded by now. "Ladies and gentlemen, the hospital has arranged a lounge nearby for your comfort. "We're here to ask you questions, not to sit down!" Solara snapp

  • CHAPTER 139

    Mrs. Solara nodded skeptically. She didn't want to Ava herself before, so if Uriel wanted to speak up, let her. It would be best if she said exactly what she thought. Beside her, Robison's expression darkened further after hearing Uriel's words. He walked over to them silently, startling Mrs. Solara. "Uriel, what do you mean by that?" he asked, his voice low and tense. "It's clear that it was that broke loser who did it. Just look at him! He probably knows he won't get a fair share of the inheritance and is feeling resentful. People like him should be taken straight to the police." His words were harsh and dismissive, completely ignoring Mrs. Solara's presence. Solara wanted to speak up but ultimately swallowed her words. She knew he wouldn't say anything nice. Uriel looked him up and down, her gaze icy and unbothered by his dark expression. She shot back coldly, "Aren't you a suspect yourself? You were there for hours last night. I didn't mention it when Thomas was around, but let'

  • CHAPTER 138

    Iris was tired of waiting around. After all, the old man wasn't waking up anytime soon, and all she was doing was watching the faces of a few people. Just the thought of running into Robison made her shudder. Walking to the garage, she suddenly felt like someone was following her. She glanced at the other cars parked nearby, trying to reassure herself that this was a hospital, and there were plenty of people around. With that thought in mind, Iris deliberately walked closer to the crowd, but the feeling of being followed didn't fade. She turned around abruptly, but there was no one there. Clutching her bag tightly, she hurried to her car, opened the door, and locked it immediately after sitting down. As she was about to drive away, Robison stepped out from behind a pillar. He watched the blinking red dot on his screen. As soon as Iris left, he would be able to track her with the device he had planted in her car. Their family couldn't afford a second vehicle anyway. In the secure co

    Thomas stared at his phone, feeling overwhelmed by everything that had beenhappening lately. One thing after another needed his attention. "Your message is interesting. Alright, I'll give you my number, but you better make sure your evidence is solid," he replied. Without hesitation, Thomas dialed the number."Don't worry, but I need to verify the number first," he added. Iris felt a rush of excitement; it seemed this guy was a bit nervous afterall."Just wait," she said.Thomas hung up and glanced at the voice changer app on his phone. He opened the plugin related to Ms. Hutton, realizing he needed other testers for this. Iris seemed to have something to say, and Thomas was curious. He sent her another number.Ding ding…The phone rang almost immediately. It was clearly urgent, but he wondered where the call was coming from. Surely, they wouldn't be making this call in front of that group of people."Hello," Thomas answered, keeping it brief to avoid saying too much. "Hello, is thi

  • CHAPTER 136

    He scanned the people around him, his gaze icy and indifferent. The lively chatter of those nearby fell silent, and even Solara in front of him was taken aback. What was up with this guy? His sudden cold stare was downright creepy. Ms. Hutton, standing beside him, was also pondering the situation. Thomas turned to her and said something, prompting Poppy to nod before strutting away in her high heels. Just moments ago, people had been curious about the new woman suddenly appearing next to Thomas, but before they could ask, she was already gone."I swear, if my grandfather's condition worsens, I'll make sure you pay for it. I'll have you skinned alive and thrown in prison, where you'll spend the rest of your life," Robison spat, his words dripping with venom. Thomas looked at him, unfazed by the threat.Meanwhile, Solara felt a headache coming on. She was stuck dealing with her son-in-law's nonsense and cursed under her breath, wishing he wouldn't drag her down with him. With a smile, T
